Scientists believe that the combination of this metallic
hydrogen along with Jupiter's fast rotation — one day on Jupiter is only 10 hours long — generates a powerful magnetic field that surrounds the planet with electrons, protons and
ions traveling at nearly the speed of light.
Heat is transferred by radiation —
ions of
hydrogen and helium emit photons, which
travel a brief distance before being reabsorbed by other
ions.
